Carrie, there are no Targets in Hawaii 
They have been looking into this market
The main choices of mattresses on island are Serta & Theraputic (Serta has a factory on Ohau), so if you want another brand, you will need to bring it. Matresses are sold in Hilo at the major furniture stores, and also at Costco & America's Mattress on the Kona side.
Just about everything you want/need is available here. There is one thing we have learned, it is not ALWAYS available. You start to get the ebb & flow, when containers come in there may be a lot of one type of item, then that item may not be around for a couple of months, then a container of it comes in. This is not a bare shelves type thing, but an "I got this here a month ago....but I can not find it now" type thing. We are learning that this does drive a little of the "it is in stock, buy it up" type drive, but it also allows you to just re-evaluate whether you really needed the thing you were looking for!
Then you go to the beach, and nothing really matters as much!
Aloha, Carey
